[@snakesareSCARY]

"I want to go down in history in a chapter marked ‘miscellaneous’ because the writers could find no other way to categorise me in this world where classification is key . I want to erase the straight lines, so I can be me." Whewwwwww. She's a godess.

[@asmileforeveryoccasion527]

"I want to be the girl your parents will use as a bad example of a lady." Really? Staceyann Chin is probably the best example of a strong, determined lady I have ever seen..

[@rdgreen2009]

[@FindTheBody]

[@anardev17]

Grace of a dancer and the elocution of a hurricane.

[@TheElysaB]

Chin is the 5th most common surname in China. Like being asked if she is related to so and so Smith or Jones in this country.

[@jadesweetbutton]

it sounds like a Caribbean accent.

[@Bahamianempress]

There are many Chins from Jamaica because of mass migration to the islands by the Chinese. Given the expanse of China and how common a surname Chin is, I'd say it's remotely possible but to my knowledge no. Distantly related perhaps.

[@KittyToughCookie]

She's also half Chinese I believe?

[@runandhyde]

I actually was using butt-hurt in the fashion that shows how sensitive you are to every insignificant not even almost slightly sexist statement. Plus what does rape have to do with rough anal sex? That kind of sex is the norm to some people who enjoy that kind of thing. I obviously enjoyed the performance. If you read my last response toward the middle you would notice I stated what made her sexy, just so there's no confusion "she was sexy, in the way she expressions her passion through poetry."

[@Mamamadness]

poetic lesbian Jamaican. ..hmm....I like. im Jamaican=)

[@BillyGoatLovesHikaru]

Damn, gave me chills.

[@lovethelifeyoulive31]

i love this woman
